Long Time - Sorry

 I'm so sorry that is has been so long since I've updated this.  Here is quick synopsis of where we are.  Above - Nick turned 3!  Party at Jump Zone.  Loved it - kept saying he was getting his birthday (as if it's a present itself).  Now wants to know when he'll be 4.

Emma went out to PA with Kris for pig butchering.  1st time any of them had gone.  She enjoyed it.  And as much as I thought different, not one of them is bothered by knowing they are eating a pig.

 3 kids in pj's above.  One of the only pics I have from February.  Bare with me.
Easter just happened.  Kris was in PA to deal with some major farmhouse renovations.  That left me alone with all 3.  Amazingly, we had a small snack, found baskets and eggs, got dressed and took pictures.  All before getting to church on time!!  All 3 have enjoyed this season - especially rehiding and finding eggs.

 Below, we have pictures from Nick's first 'show' at preschool.  They were way too cute and funny.  I was proud of him for participating (something Ryan still doesn't do).   We took him out for lunch afterwards!  Emma even skipped out of class early to see him.

Dress up has been big in my house for the last few months.  They all love to dress up in Emma's dresses.  That's all they do though - try them on.  They don't pretend they are doing anything!

 The last picture was from the 1st nice day last week.  That meant - time to wash all the outside toys.  They loved it, as always.

That's it in a nutshell.  People have been sick, Nick had staples from a fall into the corner of the wall (all while Kris was in China), we're at the gym a lot - workouts, gymnastics, swim lessons.  I think Ryan is down to 30 days left of school.  It's going by so fast!  I'll try to do better with this!
